" Winter storm Hercules did a lot more than prevent kids from going to school today; it stopped most people from going anywhere. More than 1,500 flights were canceled across the country, adding to the thousands already canceled yesterday. In New Jersey, a public bus struck a small building on a local street early Friday morning around 7 A.M., just before finishing its route. Reports indicate that the driver, who was the only person aboard, sustained minor injuries. NJ Transit buses are still running, but with 30-minute delays throughout the northern part of the state. A number of weather-related delays have also affected Boston&amp;#039;s public transportation. As of 10:19 A.M., the MBTA Transit Police announced that regular service had resumed, but cautioned anyone willing to venture out into the snow to &amp;quot;be cautious, careful and safe as surfaces may be slippery.&amp;quot;  Passengers can also expect delays from New York&amp;#039;s Metropolitan Transportation Authority. While the subways were running Friday morning, buses are behind schedule.  New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency and closed several major highways. Drivers who venture onto roads that have been closed can face a misdemeanor charge. &amp;quot;The best thing that people can do, of course, is to stay safe, stay warm and stay indoors,&amp;quot; Bill de Blasio, New York City&amp;#039;s new mayor, said at a late-morning news conference. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t want anyone to underestimate just how bitterly cold it is, and it will get colder.&amp;quot; How has snowstorm Hercules affected you?
